Chapter 721: 783 Chapter 721: 783 Chapter 783
dicine King Valley and the Tang Family were both top powers in the southwest.
If the two joined forces, it would be an even more formidable alliance.
Being an Alchemy Grandmaster was indeed splendid,
but one had to weigh whether it was worth directly confronting these two behemoths—who clearly would settle for nothing less.
Aside from Bodhisattva Gate, what other Hidden Sect dared to claim they could compete with these two?
The expressions of Tang Shengfeng and his daughter, who had been standing at the edge of the arena, changed drastically.
Tang Shengfeng rushed into the center, shouting, “Uncle, Master Long is soone I brought here; I can guarantee his innocence.”
Tang Xun looked at Tang Shengfeng with cold eyes and said, “Presumptuous!
You have no place to speak here; step back imdiately!”
“Great-grandfather, Master Long would never steal dicine King Valley’s pill formula; this is clearly dicine King Valley slandering the master,” Tang Yan exclaid loudly.
...
Tang Xun’s face darkened as he said, “This is becoming more disgraceful by the mont.
Won’t soone pull them away for family discipline?”
Imdiately, several martial artists from the Tang Family charged forward.
Long Xiaoshan flicked his fingers and a few Wind Blades shot out.
The martial artists scread as the Wind Blades severed their limbs, a bloody sight indeed.
Tang Xun’s expression turned icy as he said harshly, “Master Long, you dare to harm my Tang family’s people, co forth!”
With a swishing noise, a large group of Tang family martial artists surged forward, encircling Long Xiaoshan and his company.
Today was the Tang family’s grand competition, and all martial artists had been summoned back to the family.
There were nearly a hundred martial artists present, showcasing the imnse power of the Tang family.
So many martial artists gathered together, their Aura of Killing fierce, their montum soaring to the skies, causing the onlookers to change color with fear.
Although there were several hundred Hidden Sect Martial Artists present, they ca from various places and represented various powers, as scattered as sand, lacking the united force of the Tang family martial artists.
Seeing such a massive display of martial power,
everyone stepped back.
And no one dared to speak up for Long Xiaoshan.
Only Long Xiaoshan and Tang Shengfeng with his daughter were left to face the nearly hundred Tang family martial artists.
In the tense, electric atmosphere, a cool, detached voice rang out, “Master Long, if you’re willing to join us at Bodhisattva Gate, our promise remains valid.”
A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd.
The speaker was none other than Fu Xuelan from Bodhisattva Gate.
It was only Fu Xuelan who had not stepped back at this ti, still standing there with a serene and gentle expression, seemingly oblivious to the tense standoff between the two sides.
The crowd thought to themselves that it was no wonder Bodhisattva Gate dared to speak up at such a mont.
A flicker of displeasure crossed Tang Xun’s and Qiu Tianduo’s faces.
Tang Xun asked with a heavier tone, “Fairy Xuelan, what do you an by this?”
Fu Xuelan smiled faintly and, with a distant bow towards Tang Xun, said, “Family Head Tang, Xuelan has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Tang family.
Even if Master Long joins Bodhisattva Gate, we are willing to cooperate with the Tang family and dicine King Valley in investigating the theft of the pill formula.
I will stay here until the matter is fully resolved.”
Fu Xuelan spoke flawlessly, leaving even Tang Xun sowhat at a loss for words.
The audience could not help but be inwardly impressed.
They had underestimated this Fairy Xuelan.
Indeed, as a direct disciple of the Sect Leader of Bodhisattva Gate, she remained composed even when facing the Tang family and dicine King Valley, masterfully controlling the situation.
At this mont, Long Xiaoshan found himself cornered by the Tang family and dicine King Valley.
With Bodhisattva Gate stepping forward at this ti,
it was practically a lifeline for Long Xiaoshan, who was forced to grasp it, given that Bodhisattva Gate’s offer was certainly more generous compared to the aggressive pressure from the Tang family and dicine King Valley.
On the other hand, Fu Xuelan proactively offered to cooperate with the Tang Family’s dicine King Valley in their investigation, which shut the dicine King Valley’s mouth.
With the Bodhisattva Gate intervening, the dicine King Valley’s blatant slander against Long Xiaoshan was no longer feasible.
Of course, all of this was still based on the formidable foundation of the Bodhisattva Gate.
As a top Alchemy sect within the Hidden Sects,
it was with this powerful backing that they faced the two behemoths, the Tang Family and dicine King Valley, without any hint of inferiority.
Otherwise, even if Fu Xuelan were eloquent, it would still be futile in the face of absolute power.
Fu Xuelan’s hands hung lightly by her sides, and her lips bore a tranquil smile as she stood watching Long Xiaoshan quietly.
She believed that by this ti,
Long Xiaoshan had no choice left.
Being able to bring an Alchemy Grandmaster into the Bodhisattva Gate, she thought, would surely delight her master.
It would be far more precious than presenting her master with a stalk of Hundred Spirits Grass.
At that mont, Long Xiaoshan turned his head, looked at the calmly smiling Fu Xuelan, and chuckled softly, “Beautiful sister, thank you for your kindness, but as I’ve said before, I’m too accustod to my leisurely ways to join a sect.”
Fu Xuelan’s smile suddenly froze.
Incredulity flashed in her eyes as she said, “Are you truly certain that you don’t wish to join our Bodhisattva Gate?”
The others around them also looked at Long Xiaoshan as if he were insane.
Even at this point,
Long Xiaoshan was still rejecting the Bodhisattva Gate’s invitation.
Didn’t he know that without joining the Bodhisattva Gate, he absolutely would not be able to leave Tang Family Manor and would definitely be detained by the Tang Family?
He would probably beco a re Alchemy tool for the Tang Family and dicine King Valley, never to enjoy freedom again.
Even Tang Shengfeng couldn’t help himself and whispered urgently, “Master, think in the long term, ah, join the Bodhisattva Gate for now.”
Long Xiaoshan waved his sleeve, “No more words are needed!”
Joy that could not be suppressed flashed across the faces of Tang Xun and Qiu Tianduo.
They could never have imagined that Long Xiaoshan, this simpleton, would actually refuse the Bodhisattva Gate.
Even if their two families combined forces, they would still be under great pressure facing the Bodhisattva Gate.
Now, however, the issue seed resolved.
Long Xiaoshan’s rejection left the Bodhisattva Gate without any reason to intervene.
Wonderful!
Wonderful!
Tang Xun said, “Master Long, I can still give you one last chance.
If you surrender now and agree to stay for the investigation, I can still treat you as an honored guest.”
Long Xiaoshan laughed heartily, “Old Tang dog, I can also give you one last chance.
If you and that old dog surnad Qiu next to you are willing to kneel before and admit to today’s slander, I might still spare you two dogs’ lives.”
“Insolent!”
“Arrogant!”
The faces of Tang Xun and Qiu Tianduo changed simultaneously.
The two, one being the Family Head of the Tang Family and the other Elder Yinding of the dicine King Valley, had never been humiliated to their faces and called old dogs.
Fu Xuelan secretly shook her head.
She didn’t understand how this Master Long had beco an Alchemy Grandmaster, with such an inability to read the room, reckless and arrogant.
At this point, he was still provoking the Tang Family and dicine King Valley.
With such words, who could save him?
She extinguished the last glimr of hope to save Long Xiaoshan and stepped back to the edge of the scene.
“Take him down imdiately!” Tang Xun commanded coldly.
Whoosh!
The surrounding Tang Family Martial Artists imdiately sprang into action, each holding swords and knives, charging toward him.
Long Xiaoshan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he shook his head gently, “Like ants.”
As his words fell, he spread his hands to either side, with a ball of dark red fla erging in each palm.
The flas spun rapidly, turning into two intensely burning fireballs in no ti.
With a flick of his hands, the fireballs were hurled one after the other, and with a boom!
boom!
Two explosive sounds rang out as if grenades had detonated.
